... writer/Director Nick Wilson's film about a charismatic young girl with "daddy issues" is that it is completely unpretentious for a low-budget indie. That is, many films of this kind try to be what they are not, and in the process inflict self-harm. Singing In My Sleep never once makes this error, and is all the better for it. The best thing that can be said about the performance of Jessica Belkin is that occasionally -- but not always -- it brings to mind the early work of Angelina Jolie -- when she starred in films that inevitably seemed less compelling than she was. The irony being that Belkin, to move her career forward, is competing not with strangers, but with herself. It will be tricky to overcome her TikTok persona as a hot bikini model, but with time and effort she might just pull it off. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
